Jon K's touch screen computer

I was looking through the car show area and stumbled into the section where you have pictures of the lcd screen in your dash. I was considering something similar. I was curious if you built the computer yourself and what kind of os you are running also do you have more pictures of that project and the final project? what brand is the lcd screen? I have always envyed the newer m5's with the in dash lcd im hoping I can can put one in myself. also im building a turbocharged m30 and im hopeing to run a mega squirt ecu also I was wondering how that was working out. do you assemble those professionally or is it more of a DIY thing. I have done sodering on r/c cars and some circuit boards. I am hoing to do it myself. if you do assemble those how much do you charge i really don't want to mess it up.

Tons of details about the computer can be found on this site - search around. I built it myself running winxp with custom front end.

I built my own MS and haven't built one for anyone else, but I'd build you one. It takes about 6 - 8 hrs. ~$150

how much is it for a decent kit with the simulator and harness?

[Jon K]

what???

[jjdickm]

sorry I was asking you how much you paid for the setup?

[jjdickm]

Jon, you never fail to impress me with how much damn stuff you know and how little I know. Anyway, thought I'd share that couple of cents.

I think I want to go with the V3 board. I should be able to do this soon let me know how you want to do it. Im not sure exactly what I need that why I was asking you how much yours cost. do you need extra caps or does everything you need come with it? does the v3 have a simulator?
